Old Players with New Characters (strategy thread)

[Pyrizzle]

save the skill points but not for the reason you stated. I am saving them for preparation for the release of 0.7.0

I have my level 80 that has 6 skill points saved up.

I guess i could use this one and save em up as well....but the name is Eager Cleaver.

I hoping for (long term goals):
Cleave 2
Combat speed 2
Evasion 3 (or 4)

Old Players, my question is directed at you:

"In your opinion, should i save the skill points until they get a boost or just use them now and get cleave?"

you know much more than i about the future of AT... But... you ask so need to say.. pick some Cleve and have funn

[nyktos]

agreed, cleave feels great at high levels!



if you haven't experienced it yet - you should...

[Pyrizzle]

Update:
Flagstone Prison: Cleared

I think i may have to play around with Cleave on this build (That is what i made it for in the first place).

Somehow both of my builds are now in the gargoyle caves.... it's drawing me in.... Elythara save me....

[Duke]

i'd wait Pryo, especially for the Hard Hit boost.

I am really liking my level 37 Blackwater build!! He has 4 unused skill points, yet he is still one of my strongest.

Level-ups @ 38, 39, & 40 will go into AC. Giving him almost 200%

Interesting... Similar build styles but different order for building them...

My newest build is Lvl 28 now and it's AC (Equipped) is 191% but my AD is only 15-21.

The goal is to have around 230% AC so i will not miss the Gargoyle Trainers and Masters often... after that i will be raising my AD and BC.

--------------------------Update---------------------------------------------------------------

Moved up to Kazaul Caves currently hunting down a Rol.

Changed from adding to AC to AD now... more Damage!!!!

I can tell you guys about character builds I had:

When I first played AT like 2-3 years ago, I had a lv. 43 guy focusing on BS,
then I got bored of him and created a new one -I got it to lv. 54 and it was a good character with one RoL, 2x RoLS and it had Taunt and was going to get Concussion.. but it made quests and I wanted to stay neutral that time so i erased it lol

After that I had a lv. 74 with 1 point into IF and rest into QL (I found out that it was boring to play with QL)
So the one I created this year it's at level 86 and got Rejuvenation (I love that skill, it's helping more than you can imagine!), but that character got to low HP.. (1x IF making it having, equipped stats: 115 HP)

So now I go for a Corpse Eater (CE) character going all around all skills, will take alot of time.. but then I'll always have something to look forward to.
First of all I get CS 2, Evasion at 2, going maybe for EV 4 or Taunt (I will get both but I don't know in which order)
Then I'll go for Concussion because CS will already be max'd out.
As I level up, I will slowly try to get REJ.. then when that's done I try maxing resistances and have CE as high as IF in lv.
I wont be having any QL at all on this one, I guess -feels like the best to Not have it, even if it's tasty with more XP.

As usual, I only choose AD from level-ups -If I'm going to one hit kill some day, I wont need more than the AC and BC from the equipment I'm wearinig (IMHO).
And that's because I like heavy hitting w/o crit. (I'm aware of the demons resistances lol).

Any guideness is appreciated, PM me if you're having any suggestions!

I am really liking my level 37 Blackwater build!! He has 4 unused skill points, yet he is still one of my strongest.

Level-ups @ 38, 39, & 40 will go into AC. Giving him almost 200%

My Blackwater build is by far and away my best character!!! He is now at level 45 and has invested his 4 previously saved skill points, his 2 newly acquired ones and the two he gained from quests into:
Dagger proficiency 3 of 3 (maxed out)
Light armor proficiency 2 of 3
Fighting style: dual wield 2 of 2 (maxed out)
Specialization: Dual wield 1 of 1 (maxed out)

Combine these with Regeneration(1), Increased Fortitude(1), Combat Speed(2), and Weapon Accuracy(1) results in the most powerful build I have created to date. The "proof is in the podding":

AP:12
AC AP: 3
AC: 347%
AD: 36-42
CHS: -38
BC: 152%
DR: 1

At level 45, he already has a much higher AC then my level 132 character.
At level 48 I will be gaining the "Hard Hit" skill and at level 52 Cleave! Level 56 skill point will be going to "Light armor proficiency", thus maxing that one out too.
Every level-up from 45 to 56 will be going into AD, giving me AD of 47-53
